    I've spent 6 hours at a time in that new hide ( not so new now ) ... excellent, as you say. Caught some beautiful Shovelers from there, + Curlew and Redshank

    Thanks Gareth - i always read your reports even if i dont post much myself. I had some mediocre shots last week of the Barn Owl that resides at Farmoor - the distance was just that bit too much, even with my digiscope set up @ 1200mm

    Never saw the Cranes at Farmoor, sadly, but found a pair of Shelduck which they've used in the online Farmoor Log Book http://farmoor-birding.com/LOG-BOOK

    Strange one today - Barn Owl wafting past the bird hide at Farmoor about mid afternoon ! Nice. Shame he was so far away, Google Earth marked the distance at 197 metres ( 640 ft ). Still, a privilege to capture this beauty

    As always at Farmoor, no sign of anyone with a key to get in the hide. Got some shots from around the basin only. Scaup / Scoter Shag not in range today http://photo-sharing.winsoftmagic.com/1/kavppvgopq.jpg http://photo-sharing.winsoftmagic.com/1/9hcdu3knnp.jpg...

    I really must get over to Farmoor soon - I made a trip to Otmoor a couple of weeks back - but there was some idiot with a 12 bore right in the next field behind the furthest hide, blasting Partridge, or something, out of the sky :C

    Weather permitting, i'd been planning another trip to Farmoor - hopefully this time there'll be somewhere there to unlock the hide

    Not much been around here either - just a Blackcap that made an appearance in our back garden , though not long enough to get a snap

    Amazing - hard to spot in the UK. Not as difficult as the Rock Pipit though - what do you think ? Some people here think they've seen Rock Pipit, when its been Meadow or Tree. Cant blame them though - i find it hard to tell the difference too.

    Cheers GB That could be him - not very showy though. He was mostly hidden all that day. I'm due for a Farmoor visit soon. You going Gareth ?

    Wow - thats a good catch :t: Is he sure it was a Water rather than the much more abundant Tree and Meadow ?

    Hi folks - just slipped a quickie in the Hello forum, and then slunk straight into the Oxon camp ;) Rather late to be mentioning stuff already seen, but i saw that Bittern at Ottmoor - i was so blown away i could barely keep still. Tufted Duck , Pochard , Canadas, GCG's too. Caught the BH...
